— Non. car les autorit^ ju-

plus grand i^6lemetlt. Us ne.peu- 
vent voir, de temps en. temps, 
que leur avocst, Emanuel

Etbel est la seiile femme en 
AmcTique.^qtii solt condamn^-e i 
mart. La section des condamnAs 
a mort dans la prison des fem- 
mes de Sing-Sing n'est mainte- 
mue que pour elle. 

4) Que 8avez*vou8 des 
presuons qul sont 

V ' . exercees sur les deux 
. oondomii&s ? 

Ethel et’julius Rosenberg 
font preuve d’un moral extraor- 
dinaire. MAme aux -jours les plus 
sombres, quand le President 
Eisenhower a rejetA leur re- 
cours en grAce 'et que U chaise 
Alectrique Atait prcparce pour 
eux, -iU n'ont jamais faibii, iU 
n'ont pas ces-sA de proclamer 
leur Innocence- 

Pourtant, de nombreuses ten- 
tatives ont Ate faites pour lea 
pousser a acheter leur vie So 
prix d’un reniement. On a utilbA 
a cet effet mAme des raembrea 
de leur familie et jusqu’a leurx 
enfants. On a faH Agalemcnt S0« 
voir a Ethel qtt’elle nurait U 
vie sauve si elle faisait « par- 
ler » son mari. 

Cette guerre des nerfs, que 
Top 0 comparee a la c question 
du 3* degre * se heurtc a ia re* 
solution des deux innocents et 
a leur confiance dans la solida- 
ritA des bommes epris de justice. 

5) . La. condomnertion 
des Rosenberg a* 
t'oUe quelque rap- 
port ovec rantiseml- 
tisnia ? 

— l.es Rosenberg, •.‘omme ce 
fm le cas jjour. Sacco et Van- 
zotti, appartiimnent a un groupe 
minoritaire. 


‘-/C’est A dessein,^ ^bl&A-il. *. 
que Ton a choisi pour kur pro-,, 
ces, un Juge At un procureur 
jiiifs sachant que ces derniers 
seraieht intinjidAs par la pres- 
sion des groupes antisAmites et 
anticommunistes, dont Tinfluen- 
ce sur la vie politique amAri- • 
caine crott sans cesse. *Confor- 
mAment A I’Atat d’espiit de lAur 
milieu, ces magistrats, pensant 
barter d‘eux t’accusation de ■ 
€ judeo-kmlchevisme >, se sont 
fails sclemment les bourreai^ 
des Rosenberg. II est done cer- 
tain que Torigine juive d’Ethe! . 
et Julius Rosenberg a Ate dAter- 
minante dans 'leur.-.condamna-. 
tion. 

D'autre -part, il faut suulig.ner 
que sur les deux millions et 
demi de juifs (un quart de la po- 
pulation) qui habitant -New- 
York, aucun n’a AtA retenu par 
le tribunal comme niembre- du 

J“^y- . . 

Les groupes antisemite.^ ont 
exploite au maximum cette af- 
faire, qui justifie, proclament- 
ils, les campagnes qu'ils me- 
naient, bien avant, sur. le « vol . 
du secret de la bombe atoniique ' 
par les juifs >. Seion eux, le 
gouvernement a montre. en fai- 
sant poursuHire et condamnant 
les Rosenberg, qu'il comprepait 
le « danger juif . 

L’antisemitisme, qui a beau- 
coup gagnA a cette affaire, at' 
teindrait Avidemment son j)a- 
roxysme si les Rosenberg Ataient 
executAs- 


6) Comment I'antisemi- 
tiame se maniieste- 
t-il oujourd'bui oux 
Etots-Unia ? 

— Au.^ourd’bui, cn Amdnque. 
I'antli.klnntisnie revAt ta forme ia 
plus dangereuse qui scit : <1 a 
pris un c^.ctAre politiquA. 


CV n‘i^t un secret pour per-: 
sunne que ta loi Mac Car ran - 
suT I'immigraiion ci les nalu-. 
ralisations. est dirigee centre 
mutes les minorilAs, et spAcia- 
lament contie les juifs. L« t'ol“ 
lahoratvur de Me Carran, le re- 
presentant Walter, a d’allleurs 
'diklare .publiquement que les 
adversaires de cette loi sont des 
. < Juifs profcssiorinels >■ 

L’antisemitisme se base sur la 
<fayance de/plus en plus rApan- 
due,' que *es Juifs. s’ils ne sont 
pas tous des rouges » (reds), 
sont pour le moins dea < roses > 
(pinks). C'est done derriere la 
facade de la lutte centre ie com- 
muniame, au notn du patrio- 
tisme le plus intransigeant, qu’il 
oiend ae?- ravages dans le pays, 
iusqu’a Senat et au Congres. 

Dans les milieux d’affaires, 
•oil il est tr^ influent, le « thAo- 
ricien » Mervin K. HART s’ef- 
force de demontrer. par sea bul- 
letins. hebdomadaires que 
Juifs ne peuvent etre consideres 
comme des c citoyens loyaux a,

Reference is made to our memorandum dated 
May 1, 1953* concerning the handwritten statement 
prepared by David Greenglass in June, 1950, at the 
request of his attorney, 0, John Rogge, after his 
arrest. Our memorandum advised that Ruth Greenglass 
had also prepared a handwritten statement at the r» • n 
request of her attorney, but that her attorney had 4^ L IwtrO 
no recollection of receiving this statement, Ihls 
statement was thereafter located by her- In her home. 

On April 30, 1953f Ruth Greenglass made 
this statement available to our New York Office, She 
has advised that she prepared the statement in June, 

1950, at the specific request of her attorney, so that 
he would know the full details of her interview by our 
agents cn June 16, 1950, However, her attorney did 
not thereafter ask for her statement and she did not 
give it to him. She states that she has kept the 
statement in her home from the time she prepared it 
in June, 1950« Ihis statement reads as follows t 

"(Page one) General Information - How long I 
was married - How soon after marriage Dave was Inducted - 
four months. Where was he while in the Army • I told 
them about Aberdeen, Md,, Calif,, Jackson, Hiss., Cakrldge, 
lenn, los Alamos, Ihey asked me about how long he was in 
Los Alamos - I said roughly, about two years. They asked 
me if I ever went down there, I said yes, twice. Cnee in 
November of spent five days there to celebrate 
anniversary. Went in March of 45, lived there till March 
of 46, (Page two A) They asked me if any member of mV 
family had ever visited me from N.Y, I said no, nobody 
had that kind of money to take off and visit - They pressed 
the point and asked if ai^cne had visited me from N.Y. ^d 
I said no. They asked If Gold had visited me, I said to. 
They asked if I knew of him, if I*d heard the .r*®®®* I said

Thay asked ise vh(»B I had seen before I vent to 
spend my anniversary vlth Dave* X said I had said 
goodbye to ay family and friends aind they said vho f : 
elsOf I said my husbands family they said vho in . 
your husbands family? I said his mother* fatherf - 
brothers, sTiTter, husbands vives* 1 'couldn't 
remember exactly, whoever was around. They said 
what is your husband’s sister’s name? I said 
Ethel. What is her husbands name, and I told them. 

Ihey asked if I had seen Julie in the period of 
the week or two before I vent away. I said it was 
ridiculous to expect me to remember whom I had seen, 
because I was busy working in the day and shopping 
evenings. (Page two C) Until the day before I 
left they said, again, we are not trying to trap 
you. Ihis thing is bigger than you understand 
perhaps the biggest thing the F.B.I. has done in 
this country, lhat it was as important to them as 
it was to me to get the true facts that they were 
not telling me anything hut the truth, that this 
meant their reputations, their jobs. I said that 
the h.F, were ma le up of people, that they were 
not infallible, that they could make mistakes. 

They said, not in a thing like this. I said that 
I was sorry, I still maintained that my husband 
could not have said such a thing. -/XPage three) 

They asked me where I had lived in ^Ibegeroue . , X 
told them, ’Korth Fifth St. 209 Horth High, and 
somewhere on South Eight with some friends*. They 
asked me where I had lived the longest, I said 
about ten months at Kcrth High they '^sked me what 
I did while I was there, I told theis\^I was employed 
on a temporary job at the ’Soil Conservation,’ and 
then for the greater pert of the time'- by the O.P.A. 
to support myself, Ihey asked what my sources of 
income were, and I said my job, my husbands allot- 
ment, (Page fo\ir) Ihey wanted to knoW if at any 
time I had received a considerable sum of money, 
and I said ’V/ho gives away money for nothing?* X 
have no rich relatives. They asked if my salary 
and my allotment were my only sources of Income, 
and I said that and whatever savings we '^had accumulated 
prior to n;y huscands induction, I said 'they v’cre 
suff lelent to cevor my traveling expenses, tut that 


I had been younger then and spent whatever I had. 
not realizing that there was a future, not only : 
just today. They asked oe the name of the people' 
who owned the house at North High St. I told them 
It was a Freeman family. Ihey asked me it Z could 
(Fage five) remernber anything about the house 
physical details, and who lived In It. I said it 
was a two story house the owner lived cn the first 
floor, cn the second floor we lived along with a 
widow, and In the front a spinster and her friend. 

In tack of the hoi;se In a bungalow, lived a 01 and 
his family. Ke was from Klrtland Air Field. 

"They asked oe to tell whatever I could at 
(at crossed out) remember about the Freemens and to 
describe the man. I said the man 1 remembered to be 
about fifty or sixty, kind of stocky, wore glasses 
end was gray haired. They questioned me, was he gras 

J remember. (Page six) I said 

that the wife had been a school teacher, and they 
had a hobby of ccJ'ectin: ri;gs, I rsmerbered t^^et 
t ,ey wore nakin;- an anartinent -“ut of their porch, 
and ren^ t -.elr part of the house, 'ihe- said tha* 

ca-e'to 

the house and my husband gave something to him, and 
that he returned and gave something to my husband, 

Md that three of ti3 (last throe words crossed ou{) 
0o*d. my husband and I walked a few blocks. I said 
t-.ls was not so, I did not know the nan and such a 
thing never happened, 

"ihey said ray husband had adrjltted all this 
to be true, I said this could not be possible, that 

a one and one half roora apt, anyone 
visiting me could have visited ray husband, and that 
vrape soven) ve had received no such visitor# 

^ "Ihey said asaln and again that they were 
not trying to trap me, nor did they want to put words 
in oy ^iith# They asked If I me (last five words 

asked was 1 calling them liars? . 
°y husband? I said I was not 
calllr=g then liars that I did not believe my husband 
had made such statererts, that I would have to hear 
It fren hjs mouth and then I would rot believe it

because it was not trvc. One of the men asked ; " 

me if I loved ay husband, If that's why I was taking 
this stand, Ihe other said I realized she's acting 
this way, I would want my wife to act the sane way, 

I can understand it. 


"I asked whore my husband was, they (Page 
eight) told ce he was in their office, I said was he 
under arrest? They said that when they had left the 
office about one o'clock, he had not been under arrest* 


"I said (last two words crossed out) They 
said, would you corroborate this if you heard it 
from your husband? I said I x*-ented to see my husband, 
and then I would say ncthlr.fT without a law^'er. One

the custody of the marshal, Ko one could see him then 
but that later that day he was to be moved to the 
Federal House cf Detention, I said I'm sorry, I had 
nothing fiirther to say to them, (Page six E)

"They asked me if I know a ran named Frank 
Kessler and I said no, I had never heard of him. They 
asked if I had ever heard of a ran Frank Martin, 
said no — “ 


It will be noted that the above statement 
contains substantially the aa®e Information she 
furrlshed orally to our agents during the interview 
on June 16, 1950, which Is set forth in the report of 
Special Agent John W, lewis, dated June 26, 195o, at 
Kew York, captioned "David Creenglass, was,, Espionage - 
R," which was disseminated to the Department on July 11, 
1950, It will be recalled that Ruth Creenglass initially 
refused to furnish any information pertinent to this 
case, Hovrever, after consulting with her husband and 
attorney she became cccferetive.

talked with her as David Rosenberg was ’’seeing the . . 
light and coming over to our side” and pointed out 
It was wgent to talk to her because of the iBiminence 
of the sjupreme Court decision. She thereafter met- 
him In th© ©vonlng snd h© told lior D©vld Ros6nb€rg 
wanted to know where she end her husband obtained the 
money to pay legal fees to Rcgge. Bernard stated he 
advised David Rosenberg that Julius Rosenberg gave 
fH.OOO to David and Ihith Greenglass. Bernard then 
told Ruth that David Rosenberg wanted to know If 
Ruth had received a letter from her husband In which 
the latter said he wanted Julius and Ethel Rosenberg 
to admit their guilt and cooperate with the Government. 
David Rosenberg wanted Ruth to turn over the letter 
to hlra so that he could visit Julius and Ethel at 
Sing Sing Prison and persuade them to confess. Ruth 
has advised that she refused to turn over such a letter 
or any other letter, telling Bernard that she did not 
knov whet i3S0 Emar.xiel Ploch (the Kose^iber^ attorney) 
would nake of such a letter. Later that evening, 

Bernard arein visited hc-r and told her that he had 
talked to David Rosenberg and told him of Ruth's refusal 
to turn over any letter to him. Da^ld Rosenberg told 
Bernard that he did not require an entire letter and 
that a small portion of any letter Ruth had recently 
received from her husband would be sufficient. Ruth 
advised Bernard that under no circumstances would she 
give any letter, but that any time David Rosenberg 
wished to speak to her about the case she would be glad 
to do so and even show him the letter from her husband, 
but she would not permit the letter cut of her possessloi 


Ruth Greenglass further advised that Bernard 
also asked his rrother^ Krs# Tessie (ireenplass^ to turn 
oyer to him any letters she had received from Davifi end 
she refused to do so* , . \ . 

From the foregoing, it appeays that David 
Rosenberg is attempting to obtain known handwriting - 
specimens of David Greenglass for cbmparlscn by a 
handwriting expert with the statecej^t of the latter 

appearing in the French nress,

you jtate to have been prepared by F.oi ort H. Goldman, ^orm^rly

It is apparent that your request it dec sion^d by the cr.nferenea

In the French press, were authentic, 

t told you at that Conference that I hsd theretofore rocTlvgd a

or otherwist, of any such BaterlAls which mjt hare com 
fJro® our files. We therefore request that jou return 
to us any such originals or copies promptly and that you 
5f®fJ^oln from disclosing or using the contents thereof 
in any manner or fashion,” 

^y I state, first, that you oust reallre. of course, that these ' 
documents. Independently of myself, hare been published in ^e 
public press, and that, in fact, as appears from the newspapers' 
of May 4th, you yourself hare made public statements regarding 
them, uresumably with your clients* con'^ent, Kor can I assume 
that you mean in any manner to foreclose me from disclosing or 
using the contents of these photostatlo documents lo a proper 
legal manner or fashion in any proceeding duly authorised by law, 

' ■•’*#*•** -O 

I desire to avoid going Into a lengthy analysis as to whether I 
hove the right or duty to reteln these documents on behalf of my 
clients Julius Rosenberg and Rthel Rosenberg, However, as long as 
one lota of doubt nay exist as to the propriety of my retelning , 
these photostatic documents, I am not disposed to retain them, \ 
Indeed, the fact that the originals of the photostats In my posses-* 
slon may have been "stolen*' from your files (and I am relying upon , 
your representation to this effect) Is sufflelerit to move me' to 
re««pond affirrcstlvely, and without hesitation to your request,' ? f. 

T. therefore, enclose herewith a photostatic copy of the document, 
which I have designated above as (1), Consisting of three pages, 
and of the document which I have designated as (2), consisting 
of three pages, T have neither made nor retained copies of these 
documents, I have not now nor have I ever had In my possession 
any other "originals or copies, photostat^c or otherwise of any 
such iTia t'^rials which riay have come from ^[youjj/ files”, 

T re-^uest that you forthwith acknowledge receipt of this letter 
and the enclosed documents, 

However, since I am deeply concerned as to the .propriety of trans* 
mlttlng those documents to you, in terms of my duty to my clients 
and, therefore, your concomitant right to demand and receive 
them. In terras of the due administration of criminal Justice, I 
propose to direct a reque-t to the Couualttee on Professional Sthlcs 
of the Par Association, and to Chief Judge Knox, for a ruling as. 
to the rights and duties of each of us, r-s officers of the court, . 
with respect to the present and past use or suppression of the 
contents of those documents, insofar as they may seriously affect

Dear John: 


This is in reference to your letter of May 6, 1953 in which 
you request that I forward to you **any originals or copies, 
photo static or otherv-ise" of: (l) a aemorandua which you

NOTE: Greenglaaa aduiaed that at tine Rosenberg was tnstrudting htu 
to leave U939j Rosenberg told hin Dr, Bernhardt would give a Fal se 
certificate of vaccination for the Greenglasses for their proposed 
trip to Mexico, On 6-7»S0 Agents contacted Bernhardt who adm^ted 
being Rosenberg fanily physician^ but denied being approached -for 
certificate. Three days later Bernhardt contacted BIO and changed 
his story f stating he recalled receiving telephone call, f rot <-h 
Rosenberg two or three months before inquiring about type oJF 
injections needed by a friend who was going to Mexico, However^ 
Rosenberg never asked for certificate, Bernhardt testified to the 
above as Government witness at trial. Information has been received 
recently that defense is attempting to secure affidavit from Bernharx 
admitting that he perjured himself at the trial with the view of 
using affidavit in effort to secure new trial. It is believed 
desirable that interview of Bernhardt at this time to determine if 
^ has been approached by the defense be cleared with USA, SDNT, in 


of its possible bearing on future legal proceedings in this

I 


Tfc# Special Agent In Charge af ay Mem lark Office thie 
afternoon conferred loith Federal Judge Irving Kaufman with ‘ ' 
reference to developnente, in view of the deciaton handed dovn 
by the Supreme Court today in thie caeom Judge Kaufman etated 
that no date or plan hae been formulated ae yet; that the normal 
procedure would be that the Supreme Court would return I to ^dgment 
to the Circuit Court of Appeale and, in the abeenee of a etay, thie 
would be referred by the Circuit Court, direct to Judge Kaufman and 
could reach him. by the end of thie week; that, however, the 
Soaenberge* attorney, Emanuel Block, can make a motion for a stay, 
and if each a etay ie granted the verdict of the Supreme Court 
will remain in the Supreme Court for that flfteen^day period; 
further, that ehould the Supreme Court have receaaed for the 
summer by that time no action would be taken until next October, 

Kith regard to the poaaibility of Attorney Bloek*e requesting 
a stay in the Supreme Court, you may desire to make some arrancement 
in order that the Department will be immediately advised of the 
filing of any such papers, so that the Department may tmmediatelu 
file any answer necessary. 


Federal Judge Kauf^n advised on December 23, 1952, 

when the Rosenberga* family called on him in hie chambers, the 
family made a very hysterical plea for tfcW Rosenberga, On this 
occasion Judge Kaufman advises that he as^ed the family if they 
had suggested to the Rosenborgs that theyl help themselves. He 
stated the family’s reaction to this eommient was one of indignation.

Judge Kaufman further stated that] on December 30, 1952, in 
connection with the application for arref^etton of sentence by the 
i.os enberge , he indicated that the Rosenborgs could help themselves, 
out that they had taken no steps to do so, ^ 

Judge Kaufman furt^r,,a^H e<!tlt3li^ t on January 2, 1953, 
in his opinion he diacuaa^^f cortii<Ferable length the fact that 
the Rosenborgs had shown no fo^orpe u^tspsver. The Judge stated 
jthat on no occasion did he =s 'id is what otAs he would take in the

NOTE! (5/25/53) 

In accordance with the Director 's instructions, I telephonically 
contacted SAC Boardman on the afternoon of 5/25 and instructed him to 
contact Judge Kaufman, find. out. what is the approximate date which he 
might set for the execution, and point out that the sooner action . 
was taken the better; also to determine under, what circumstanjces 
and how many times the Judge had indicated to the Bosehbergs that 
if they talked they might receive some consideration 0 

The information in this memorandum to the Attorney General 
is based on a return call from Jifr. Boardman reflecting the results 
of his interview with Judge Irving Kaufrnanm

aubnitted to him by prison guarda who have monitored the 
converaatione of the Rosenberga and their viaitoro* Theae 
reporta reflect the following informationt 

. • • . . ,* ■ 

On January 31, 1953, Ethel Goldberg (aiater of 
Juliua Rosenberg) viaited Ethel Rosenberg and asked her 
about the table that waa mentioned during the trial, Ethel 
Rosenberg became excited and told her aiater^in^law not to 
ask queationa that did not concern her and that she ahou2dn*t 
discuaa this matter with anyone. The report stated "It 
aeema that the table in question had o hollow base and the 
FBI waa interested in the table at one time," 

On February 3, 1953, Ethel Rosenberg asked Julius 
Rosenberg if Ethel Goldberg had asked him about the table 
and the high chair and he answered that she had, Julius told 
hia wife that he had cautioned Ethel Goldberg about talking 
and asking queationa concerning this matter. 

On February 4, 1953, the Roaenberga were viaited 
by their attorney Emanuel Bloch and they talked about the 
console table. It appeared that Julius had bought it in 
1947 or 1948, Julius requested his attorney to locate aome 
record and Bloch advised him that the records were temporary 
and a search loas fruitless. There waa aome talk concerning 
the whereabouts of the table and it waa indicated that 
was difficult to say, Julius talked about the FBI taking 
baskets and barrels of stuff from hia house. It was also 
mentioned that the table could be at Ethel Goldberg *a place. 
During this visit it waa mentioned that a Dr, Sillier was 
trying to contact a witneaa whose name sounded like Sniderman 
\g^^-'\'^hs\-^witneaa to admit that hia testimony waa perjured 
due to the threats of the FBI and subtle coaching by the FBI,

drill from the shop and some metal screws and fixed If so that 
It would be serviceable*" Bloch also asked if there were 
grooves or anything like that on the table and Julius answered 
In the affirmative* 

Zt is believed that the Dr* Miller mentioned above, 
refers te a Dr* 3aul Miller, a psychiatrist who regularly 
visito Mthel Rosenberg at Sing Sing prison* It is alee 
believed that the individual Sniderman, mentioned above, 
refers to Ben Schneider, the lUosport Jhotegra^er who was 
a Government witness at the trial* 

On May 8, 1963, Ben Schneider was interviewed and 
contacted and he advised that two people had come to his 
store since his last visit from Bureau agents in the latter 
part of February, 1963* Be stated that one wan cane in 
and asked him if he was Schneider* Shis man wanted to 
talk about the case* Schneider refused to talk with hint* 

Me also advised that on May 6, 1953, a man came to hie ^ 
shop and asked to have passport pictures taken* Schneider 
took three picturee for the sum ef $1* Then the man was 
leaving the store he asked Schneider if he was the man 
who had taken the passport pictures in the Rosenberg bass* 

When Schneider answered that he was, ^e man asked Schneider 
if he had the negatives* Schneider answered that he did 
not* The man then left after explaining to Schneider that 
he mas a student in lam school and had been following the 
case* 


Efforts are being wads to dstsmino if the 
second individual who contacted Sohnsider is Dr* Saul Miller* 
The United States Attorney, Southern District of Sow fork 
is being advised of tho above information concorning Schneider 

Tou will be kept advised ef additional developments 
in this stutter*

SHE HAD BEEN INTERVIEWED BY MRM GOLDMAN OF ROGGE-S OFFICE IN-:iUNE FIFTY. 
GOLDMAN WANTED TO KNOW SOME OF HER HUSBAND, DAVID-S, BACKGROUND. (VT 
SHE TOLD HIM OF HER COURTSHIP BY DAVID AND LATER MARRIAGE AND OTHER ^ 

MEMBERS OF THE FAMILY TOLD GOLDMAN VARIOUS ITEMS* ABOUT DAVID. SHE- 

h/J ^ ' 

RECALLED THAT DAVID HAD EITHER PNEUMONIA OR THE FLU WHEN HE WAS 

V- : 

FIFTEEN OR SIXTEEN YEARS OF AGE AND THAT HE WAS ALONE IN THE UPStAIRS 


APARTMENT. HE HAD A VERY HIGH TEMPERATURE AND IN HIS ^IJfcLIRIOUS STATE 
HE RAN OUT OF THE APARTMENT TRYING TO GET HIS PAJAMAS^F. SHE TOLD 


GOLDMAN THAT DAVID REFERRED TO HIS PAJAMAS AS LEAD Pi^J^S AND THAT 
THERE WERE ELEPHANTS AROUND. THIS IS THE STATEMENT THAT WAS TAKEN 
FROM ROGGE-S OFFICE, PHOTOGRAPHED AND WHICH WAS READ AT THE RALLY 
AT RANDALLS ISLAND ON THE THIRD LAST. IT IS BELIEVED THAT THIS 


J, 


STATEMENT WILL BE USED TO DISCREDIT DAVID AS A WITNESS. RUTH STATED 
THAT THIS INCIDENT WAS A FAMILY JOKE AND WAS WELL KNOWN TO JULIUS AND 
ETHEL ROSENBERG AND HAD BEEN RELATED ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION WHEN 


MEMBERS OF THE FAMILY WERE TALKING OF TH|^-^CTIONS ^MBERS,

the David Greenglass ease reflecting results of various 
interviews with Greenglass on July 14, 16, 18, and 20,

Greenglass advised Rosenberg bought a Leica camera 
from Willoughby *s, and he sometimes fastened the camera 
to a drop-leaf table in his hone. Tour attention is 
also directed to New Tork teletype dated July 15, 1950, 
in the above»captioned case, reporting interview with 
Ruth Greenglass^ The latter also advised of the purchase 
of the camera by Rosenberg for use in his photocopy work 
and stated that Rosenberg had rigged up an attachment 
for the camera to be fitted on the bottom of the dros» 
leaf tables

NOTE: Greenglass testified that Rosenberg told him the 

Russians gave the R osenbergs as a gift a console 
table which was adapted by Rosenberg for photographing 
espionage material, Rosenberg denied this on the stand, 
stating he bought the console table at Maoey *s. Table was 
not produced at the trial, Rosenberg attorney now claims 
to have found table and states it was in Rosenberg apartment 
at time of arrest, indicating Greenglass withheld this 
information from the FBI, otherwise FBI would have seised it 
at time of arrest. It appears, in event Supreme Court denies 
certiorari, defense will move for a new trial on newly 
discovered evidence, using console table story for one of 
these points, /

Reference is ncde to our_ meiaorandun of May -7^ 

1953, reporting information fron a Confidential source 
concerning one Fyte farmer, Nashville, Tennessee, attorney, 
tcho has advanced the theory that the Rosenberg Case can be 
thrown out of court on a habeas corpus because it was tried 
under the old espionage law instead of the Atomic Energy ^ 
Control Act* - , , 

V. - r - 

Our files reflect that a fyke farmer, undoubtedly 
identical with the above'-mentioned individual, was a proc* 
ticing attorney at Nashville, Tennessee, for many years% 
About 1945 or 294C he reportedly became intensely interested 
in world government to the extent that he gave up hie law 
practice and has since devoted full time to urging estab^ , 
lishmsr.t of a world government* Ac^uaintancee at Nashville, 
Tenuee&ec regcrd ’^^r'r.er os on imoractical idealist. They 
state that whirl e they do not believe ^ar er would ever 6ub^ 
scribe to a Communist eysierr. o-' jo verrirncnt, he could be led 
by Co:r.nuni:-it^» Fcr\er was a signer o'" the Amici Curiae 
brieC “ilsd with the United States Court of Apieala, Second 
Circuit, urging reversal of the contempt or court conviction 
of several attorneys in the conspiracy trial of the eleven 
Communist leaders* 


ir* ’dwerd Ransall, o reporter of the "New fork 
Times," has advised our New York Office that Former visited \ 
him on May 15, 1963* farmer told Ransall that a ''ter atudying\ 
the Rosenberg Case record, he did not believe the court had 
the power to invoke the death penalty because of a techni- 
cality in the indictment* farmer stated he had submitted 
a writ of habeas corpus to the United States Supreme Court J 
but did not pay the filing fee of $100 and, therefore, a 
writ has not been issued* \jaraer cdoised Ransall thet he i 
had been invited by Joseph^^ainin, Chairman of the National I 
Cemnittee to ,^ea’-re Justice %n the Roaenbergs Case, to 
New York City, where he attended a conference, at whif^h 
manucl Bloch, attorney for the Rosenbergs, was present* 

Bloch told Brainin and Termer that he was oppo6<M to the 
action taken by "armor end intended to do nothing about the 





t^ehnioclity in tfin indiotaent nt thin tinn» According 
to Former^ Bloch hao aduiood the Suprono Court end pio

I called Supervisor Vincent McCarthy in the y 

Boston Office, who was acting as SAC, regarding tfte / 

Washington City News Service release today {May 22) 
which quoted former AEC Commissioner Sunner T, Pike as 
saying it is a reasonable inference that the Rosenbergs 
worked with possibly two spy groups that have been 

caught, I instructed that Pike be contacted for detaxls, 

T further instructed that the results of the interview

(PIKE) 

AUGUSTA* NE*- -FORMER AEC COMMISSIONER SUNNER T. PIKE SAID IT IS *A 
REASONABLE INFERENCE* THAT CONVICTED ATOMIC SPIES JULIUS AND ETHEL 
ROSENBERG WORKED WITH POSSIBLY TWO SPY GROUPS THAT NEVER HAVE BEEN 
CAUGHT. 

”I HAVE NO PROOF. IF I HAD. THE FBI WOULD HAVE GOTTEN IT.* PIKE SAID 
IN HIS STATE HOUSE OFFICE. HE ^W IS CHAIRMAN OF THE MAINE PUBLIC 
UTILITIES COMMISSION. 

PIKE MADE THE STATEMENT WHEN QUERIES ABOUT A SPEECH HE DELIVERED 
YESTERDAY IN PORTLAND. IN THAT SPEECH. HE SAID HE BELIEVED TWO 
communist spy groups would be "smoked OUT* IF RtSENBERG AND HIS WIFE 
TALKED, ^ 

THE ROSENBERGS WERE Sj^TENCED TO DIE IN THE ELECTRIC CHAIR FOR i 

ALLEGEDLY REVEALING A-BOMB SECRETS TO RUSSIA. I 

PIKE SAID TODAY THAT MRS. ROSENBERG IS MORE APT TO "SPILL ALL* THAN 
HER HUSBAND TO SAVE HER LIFE, 

"ROSENBERG IS THE TOUGH GUY-* HE SAID, "HE ISN’T THE KIND TO TALK. 

BUT MRS. ROSENBERG ISN’T AS STRONG A CHARACTER." 

PIKE SAID THAT BOTH "WITHOUT DOUBT HAVE INFORMATION ABOUT 

CO- CONSPIRATORS WHICH HASN’T BEEN REVEALED," 

"IT’S A REASONABLE INFERENCE THAT THE ROSENBERGS WORKED WITH AND HAVD 

INFORMATION ABOUT OTHER, POSSIBLY TWO, WARTIME ATOMIC SPY GROUPS WHICH 1 
Urnr mtupp To.rvrn • ur e.Tn * 


WERE NEVER TRACKED DOWN." HE SAID.

In aecordanee »tth year auggeatien^ I have 
peruaed J^baabader Pillon*a telegram from Parta (Mo* 5972) 
to the Seeretaryt of State dated May 15^ XOSS^ in whioh 
Aabaeaador expreaaea hie view that the execution of the 
aentenee preaently pending againat Juliua and Sthel Boaenberg 
would /^avf a d«ltft 0 rfou 8 effect on Trench and Suropean opinion 
toward the United Statea* Be urgea that an appraiaal of 
the Soaenberjf aentenee be made in terma of the higher national

Apparently^ there ia no queati on that the majority 
of Trenoh opinion holds that the Roaenberga had a fair trial 
and are guilty of the chargee brought againat them* Ambaaaador 
Pillon ao atatea in hia telegram* fhia, of oourae, ia well 
known in the United Statea, aa the Roaenberga were afforded 
a trial by Jury in federal Court loitft the full protection of 
the demooratio prooeaaea of law in thia country* The 
Anbasaador expreaaea the opinion, however, that the death 
aentenee ia unjustifiable puniahment when compared with the . 
prison tema meted out to British aoientiata, Alan Munn May 
and Klaus Tucha* I would like to point out that any 
weakneaaea in the British security ay stem ahould not be 
utilised by thia country aa a basis for meting out Justice* 

The defendants in thia case have had resort, not only once 
but twice <8 the Supreme Court of the land* In addition, 
the do fendant a have applied for clemency to the trial Judge 
and tq the President of the United Statea, aa a result of 
whichr'the sentence haa been moat carefully reviewed and 
their' pleas for clemency denied*.

full defaiXa af hie aefivifieo^ The featimany 0 / GraengX^oo 
at the trial oonatituted, af course, hie full reooXXeotian 
of his aotiuities and those af the defendants. 

Ambassador PiXXan stated that a •tt5«tanifa2 aagnent 
af Freneh apinion also nahes a distinetion between the degree 
of guilt of Bosenberg at the principal and that af his eife 
as on aocessory. At the record af the trial mil reflect, 

Ethel Bosenberg actively assisted Julius Saaenberg in hio 
espionage aotfvfiftt* 

With reference to the apinion af the Ambassador 
that the great majority of French people feel the 

death sentence is unjustified from a moral standpoint and 
is due only to the political climate peculiar ta the United 
States, now and at the time of the trial, as pointed out 
above, I feel that we should take cognisance of the fact that 
the defendants have had every opportunity of appeal and that 
the Supreme Court has twice considered their ease. In 
addition, public opinion in this country, as expressed by 
editorial oomnon’l in our newspapers, I tninh it can be fairly 
said, has been overwhelmingly in favor of the sentence metad 
out to the defendants* 

Relative to Ambassador Dillan*s comments regarding 
Ur* Cohn, it should be considered that former United States 
Attorney Irving Saypol, not Ur, Cohn, was fn direct charge 
of the prosecution of this case* Ur, Saypol is now a Hew 
York State Supreme Court Justice, Ur* Cohn did assist 
materially in the prosecution, but the responsibility for the 
handling of the case and the majority of the prosecution 
itself were charged to Ur* Saypol* 

In weighing the reaction to this matter, the 
current attitude of the Communist Party, both here and abroad, 
should be taken into consideration* Communist Parties, both 
in the United States and abroad, have been conducting a prolific 





Sonorabl0 JGRrrdtfri Broanell.^V^

campaign through the Comnuntet prc$$ and /rent crganiMattcnd 
demanding the amelioration e/ the Moeenberge* eentenee» ^ 
Indeed, among many of the argunente advanced have been \ - 
come of theae act forth in Jnbaaaador JHllon'a telegram^ 


A reduction in aontenoe mould, of courec, be 
interpreted by the Communiata aa a deoiaioe victory reaulting 
from the very vigoroua campaign which they are waging toward 
thte end. Commutation Itkewtae could be conatrued ae a aign 
of weakneaa and indeeiaion on the part of thie Covernnent 
in protecting the aecurity of the Cnited Statee* The effeat 
of thia aentence ae on object leeaon to other enemie a cr 
potential enemiea threatening our aecurity, of courae, would 
be loat in the event the aentence of the Boaenberga were 
reduced* 


While the Ambaaoador ia undoubtedly aineere in 
hi a eepreaaion of opinion aa to the grave conaequencea t^ich 
may enaue if thia aentence ia carried out, it i a my opinion 
that the contrary may well be true. If the aentence ia 
reduced, we may well be charged, not only abroad but ia thia 
country, with knuckling under to Conmuniat preaaure and thia 
could not help but be extremely harmful to pur national 
aecurity* 

I oo returning to you Ambaaoador JHllon^a telegram 
and accompanying document*

Stipe rvisor Scoi't Miller called from New York 
at 3:45 today, June J. He stated that Judge Kaufman 

had Just denied a motion for reduction of sentence and 
a motion for stay of execution. In connection with the 
denial of these motions, Emanual Bloch, the attorney for 
the Rosenbergs, indicated he would appeal within 24 
hours to the Circuit Court of Appeals, 


Bloch was asked by the U, S, Attorney whether 
he planned filing additional motions, and Bloch said 
he planned to file a motion under Rule 2265, on the basis 
of newly-^discovered evidence, some of which was Just 
learned yesterday. May 31, (This apparently pertains 
• •to o statement made yesterday by Bernard Greenglass to 
the effect David Greenglass had told him that he had

Mr. Metzner in the Department brought to my office this 
aiternoon a cover note from Mr. Bernard M. Shanley of the White House, with 
which Mr. Shanley submitted to the Attorney General two handwritten letters 
purportedly written by the Rosenberg children. One of the letters is signed 
^'Michael Rosenberg" and petitions the release of his mother and father, using 
as a basis for his request the release of William Oatis. The other letter is 
signed "Michael and Robert Rosenberg" and also petitions the release of the 
Rosenbergs. In the first letter Michael Rosenberg refers to his brother Robert 
as being six years old; therefore, it would appear that, if they are authentic, 
both letters were written by Michael. Mr. Metzner stated that the Attorney 
General desired a handwriting comparison made to determine if both letters 
were written by the same person. 


I delivered the notes immediately to Mr. Parsons in the Labora- 
tory, with the request that a handwriting examination be made on a most expedite 
basis and a report be prepared for Mr. Metzner. 


Mr. Metzner advised that it was the Attorney General's view that 
nothing further be done on these letters, especially if it was determined both 
were written by the same person. He would appreciate your views, however, 
as to whether or not you feel any further steps should be taken with reference to 
these letters. The thought occurs that in the event the letters are found to be 
written by different persons, some consideration might be given to obtaining 
known handwriting specimens on a discreet basis from the records of the school 
attended by Michael Rosenberg in order to determine whether or not he wrote 
either of the letters. Michael Allen was born 3-10-43; Robert Harry born l0-14-!»47-. 

Mr. Metzner asked that the letters be returned to him tomorrow / 
in order that he can return them to the White House.

Dear President Eisenhower, 

I saw on telivision on monday, Mr. Oatis is not in jail 
in Europe any more because the President of the country let him go. 

It said his wife wrote a letter to the President over there and she told 
why Mr. Oatis should be let go. I think it is a good thing to let him 
go home because I know prison is a very bad place for anybody to be 

My momy and dady are in prison in New York My brother 
is six years old His name is Robby. He misses them very much. I 
miss them too. I got the idea to write to you from Mr. Oatis on telivision. 
Please let my mommy and daddy go, and not let anything happen to them. 

If they come home Robby and I will be very happy. We will thank you 
very much. 

Very truly yours,

mony. 1 his sensational development in the worl 
fajnous case took place yesterday afternoon at th 
cL:mency-for-Rosenbergs rally held at Randalls Is, 
land, New York City. The U.S. Supreme Court 
may hand down its decision today on the Rosen- 
berg appeal for a new trial. 

The damning Greenglass document, wr-tose au- 
thenticity has been established by Elizabeth Mc- 
Carthy, a nationally kno\yn handwriting expert, 

6rst appeared in the anti-Communist French paper. 

Combat, in Paris. It was made available to the American 
public yesterday after having created a sensation in France 
tliroiigh its pubhcation also in die leading French consen^a- 
tive paper, Le Monde. 

MAJOR POINTS 

The Greenglass document confirms these major points in 
the charge that Greenglass lied on the witness stand with 
the connivance and knowledge of the FBI: p 

1— He told the court and the jury that he told Ha iry 
Cold, another witness, to c-ome back to see liim alxiut alleged 
a^om information. Actually, it was the FBI that told liim 
to say that. . " Lj ^

2— He did not say at first that he had met a Russian.

tion of ihis Russian as Yakovlev in the Soviet embassy. 

3— He allowed the FBI to place into his “confession* 
thin^ of which he himself had no recollection. 

4— He described in detail in hlarch, 1951, during the 
trial a conversation of which he had no real recollecdon in 
June, 1950, when the FBI was questioning him. 

5— He lied when he told the jurj' that Julius Rosenberg 

had sent Harry Gold to see him, since he did not know Gold 
nihe months before when this meeting was alleged to have 
taken place. •

op 



AFTER CITING a document in which Greenglass' wife> 
Rudi, shows that her husband was hysterical, unbalancedg 
given to fanasties and lies, chairman of the Rosenberg com* 
mittee, Joseph Brainin told the rally audience: ^ 

"Tn the light of this description, w'hat shall we ^ake 
of a second document published on April 18 by Le Coipibat, 
a French newspaper, and reprinted in Le Monde, thenvell* 
known newspaper, a document which purports to be written 
in Greenglass^ own handwriting, , I repeat. Le Combat, 
a Parisian anti-Communist daily, published a statement by 
David Greenglass in his own handwriting. I wish you could 
see this man s handwriting. It is that on ^an immature cl^ild. 
The document starts out by saying: 

*^Tliese are my approximate statements to the FBI.** 
*'And what are these statements? 

^Greenglass says that he told the FBI that he met 
Harry Cold in New Mexico, smd now listen carefully to this: 
"They (FBI) told me that I had told him to come back later, 
I didn^t rememb«r this but I allowed it in the statement.*^ 
"Let us pause for a moment, for this statement by 
David Greenglass gives us they key to his subsequent tes- 
timony at the trial.'' 

i "The FBI told him something he. didn’t rcmember,j!yet 

53^- _ If 

ni\ readily agreed to accept it as his own statement. j 
^ T.et me read further what Greenglass writes: | 

*( told them (FBI) that on a visit to me in 1944 my wife; 
asked me to give information/ - j 

"AikI following that, in the language of a man w^ho is’ 
carefully investigating a story, Greenglass writes: T made 
sure to tell the FBI that she was transmitting this informa- 
tion from my brother-in-law Juh’us/ 

‘Ts this the language of a man telling the truth, or of a 
man creating a story, a fiction? 


like of wbat Greeikj^ass testi- 
fied w court! 

_ “At the trial he placed bis wife 
^ the room, contrary to what be 
* in htf handwritten statement, 

I bemuse the prosecution needed 
coiroboration. And when be and 
the prosecution needed corrobora- 
‘ifion at the trial, the truth goes 
out the window. 

“At the trial Greenglass said that 
Julius Rosenberg sent Gold to blin, 
the very opposite of what be says 
here in the statement, 

. “In his own handwritmfit Green- 
glass says he told the FBI ol a 
meeting with a stranger in mkl- 
town Manhattan. He cannot ze- 
member who this man is. By die 
time the trial begins, his memory 
is considetably improved to the 
point where this stranger acquires 
la nationality — aiid, strangely 
lenough, it is a Russian. Are all 
; these matters— not knowing who 
sent Gold, not knowing who the 
strati I er was, not remembering 
what ^ they talked about, not re- 
in emqjering the details of Gold’s 
visit to New Mexico— are aU these 
iinatters to be summed up in 
jOreenglass* statement in his own 
hand witting that: *I didn’t remem- 
ber this, but I allowed it in the 
statement.

On Sunil^, May A, the eeunlry tva$ given gemaiional 
new evidence mlding new weight to the charge that iho 
entire government cate vigainMt the Rotenbergt it a frhnuh 
up. This new evideiice, written JunOy 19S0y is now in tha 
hands of President Eisenhowery sent to him hj the Com- 
miitee for Justice in the Rosenberg Case in its appeal for ^ 
clefnehcy and a new trial. 

The new evidence consists of two documents whose 
authenticity is unquestionedy one in the handwriting of 
David Creenglassy key witness against the RosenbergSy 
and the other a ty peter itten statement Aum marking the 
pre-trial Itatements of his wifcy Ruth. There are sensa* 
tional contradictions between these early statements by 
the key witnesses and their Utter testimony in the courts 
room. ^ . 

Another amasmg fact is that neither of the key wit- 
nesses mentioned Ethel Rosenberg until they got to the 
courtroom in Marchy 1951. 

The Rosenberg committee has sent the analysis given - 
bdow to President Eisenhower. 

Following is the concluding section of this new evU 
dencey of which the first part was publish^ yesterdays 



ETHEL ROSENBERG JUUUS ROSENBERG 


4. In his handwritten docu- 
jment Grecnglass states, then 
mentioned a meeting with a man 
|who I didn’t know arranged by 
Julius, I established the approx- 
.imate vneeting place but no 
exact date. The place was a 
car, an Olds owned by nay 
father-in-law, somewhere above 
42nd Street on 1st Avenue in 
Manhattan. I talked to the man 
but 1 recall very little about 
which we spoke, I thought it 
might be that he wanted me to 
think about finding out about 
H, £, lenses used in exp^ri* 
mental tests to determine data 
on the a-bomb,** 

8y the time the trial took 
place, ^ the stranger -the *'raan 
.1 didn’t know” had acquired a 
, I^vLSsian nationality, p. 451. 
Q. Did he (Julius Rosenberg) 
tell you who this person he 
wanted >'ou to meet was? 

A. He said it was a Russian 
he wanted me to meet. 

• • • 

Did People - 
Visit Her? 

IN MRS. CREENGLASS’ 

summarized statement, the fob 
lowirig appears: ^’People keep 
flocking in the house to offer 
I support arid advice including 
dthat perhaps a right-wing law- 
nyer should be selected.” 

D At this time, according to the 




first paragraph of this statement, 
'^She was in bed as she had just 
returned from the hospitaL” 

But at the trial she testifies 
as follows, p. 733. 

Q. Were you interviewed By 
newspaper men at any time be- 
tween the 15th of June, an(* 
three, foiu* or five days then 
after? 

A, No. 

Q. You are quite sure of that? 

A. 1 was in bed. Nobody 
came into the house. 

And yet on June 19th, *peo- 
pie keep flocking in die house." 

The discrepancy would not 
be important were it not for the 
fact that she is attempting to 
d^y that she ever ^ maintained 
that she and her husband were 
innocent, thus, eliciting neigh- 
bc^hood sympathy. 

This is proven in the follow- 
ing lines, p. 733. 

Q. When did you go to see , 
Mr. Rogge? 

A. He came to see me. ' 

Q. At your home? 

A. That’s right 

(X Do you remember the 
dayr 

A. Yes. 

Q. Did you tell Mr. Rogge 
that you were innocent? 

A. No, 1 told him the whole 
truth. . _ UL

lies this later pose of instant

out tfiat if Dave was 
he should talk; Aat if not rt 
would be advisable not to talk 
but to let the Govemment ptove 
its case, 'fhe third course was 
that of cooperation. That wm 
yign discuss^ Bt lengA. 

If the third course, “coopery 
tion ” was discussed at 
in the absence of any definito 
statement of innocence or {put, 
it could only lead to Ac situa- 
tion which Acse documents re- 
veal; namely that -Grc^glass 
and his wife were both prepai^ 
to help "make" a case in order 
to save Aeir own skins. 

It is significant that Ac state- 
ment on discussing coopei atkm 
is Ae neat to the last sentence 
in Ac document. The last one 
“Xhcrc was a long discusskm 
about-JR." 

There Ae document ends, 
wiA JR (Julius Rosenberg?) 
mentioned for the first AncI 


the summary docu- 
ment, far from giving a hint 
lof guilt, actually ^ves one Ae 
impression Aat Mrs. Greenglass 
feels herself an object of per- 
secution. There is a that 
Green glass had hrou^t home 
some uranium, and had been 
questioned about it by the I* Rl» 
Mrs. Greenglass complains that 
she and her husband were fol- 
lowed about and bo Acred by 
the FBI. 

7-Doubt is even cast on Ae 
testimony Aat the Greengl^s 
family, brought g4,{)00-David s 
espionage wages— to Rogge al- 
most immediately upon Davids 
arrest. “Mrs. Greenglass urged 
OJR to try to get a court 
pointment for himself and he 
agreed to try. 

It is very unlikely, unless the 
Greenglasses were prepared at 
Aat time to plead innocent, Aat 
Aey w'ould consider $4,000 too 
small a sum to pay for an^ at- 
torney. Had they, as Aey claim 
in their court testimony, at once 
confessed their guilt, they would 
undoubtedly have considered 


$4,000 a very adequate sum | 
of money to j^y wwyei to 

plead Aem guuty. , —

one characteristic o£ Ae Green-

Aat she was transmitfog to

. To any one fa mili ar wiA taJ^

CONCLUSIONSi These two

ments for two steps: (1) Presi-

THE WORLD NOW knovrt 
of the fantastic yam— unsupport- 
ed by a sin^^e item of evidence 
or by a single witness— told by 
die leini • educated, obscure 
Anny sergeant, Creenglass who 
claim^ he overheard scraps of 
scientists* conversations at ^Loi 
Alamos befom the Hiroshima 
atom-bombing and on Ae basis 
of these conventions, drew 
froxx^ memory a 12-Mge plan 
of ^ thS atom homo secret** 
which was then “given to the 
Russians.** 



The two new dociunentsi 
made public at first in FrancJ

always an innerently unbeliev* 
able tale, branded as such by 
Nobel Prize winner Dr. Harold 
C. Urey, Prof. Albert Einsfein, 
and the Manhattan Project 
atomic expert. Dr. Ralph Lapp. 

The documents* autfaenHcity 
was confirroed this week in a 
remarkable statement by O. 
'John Rogge who tried to ex- 
plain away dieir damaging ef- 
fect on die Creenglass testi- 
mony by saying: fold 

part of his story to the FBT 
and later gave die rest** (N.Y. 
Times, May 4 .) 

But it was precisely the way 
Creenglass* original “Mrt of the 
story** was elaborated Tatcr** to 
fit the prosecution's needs w*hich 
constitutes the amazhig lifting 
of the lid on this incr^lble po- 
litical frame-up.

• Creendass did not know 
Harry Cold, alleged contact be-

Juno 1950, nor did he Invite Gold 
to come back later" in his orig- 
mal statemcnf; nor did he say that

roe. But in tfie ti^J testimony 
he changed aH this. He reveals’ 
that ^ FBI **toId me that I had 
told him (Hany Gold) to come 
back later because I didn't have 
it ready.** The he adds this dam- 
aging revelation: 

“I didn’t remember rtii« but I 
I allowed it in the statement.” 

Thus, the FBI was coaching him 
to say what was needed for the 
trial and the prosecution. 

• Greenglass claimed that his 
^vife talked over with him the 
©ving of "information” to Julius 
Rosenberg when she met him in 
New Mexico in November, 1944. 
jBut, Mrs. Greenglass* typewritten 
‘Statement now reveals that ^e 
I could not have been In New Mex- 
ico when this alleged conversation 
j Ujas supposed to have taken place. 

I She stated at first that she did not 
jget to New Mexico imtil four 
! months later, March 1945! She 
c^nged this in the trial however 
nine months laterl ' 

• She claims that Julius Rosen- 

the atom bomb 
With her before she went to New 
Mexico, March. 1945; but in her 
statement it comes out that it was 
only after Hiroshima, July, 1945, 
tnat she became aware of the 
atom bomb! Thus, she either never 
wth Julius Rosenberg, or 
; it she aid, it could not have been 
I about the atom bomb as she 
claimed at the triall 
! • In his handwritten statement. 

jOr^nglass said about the alleged 
am^l of Ifarry CJold, (this is the 
highly dubious character sent to 
jail after his "confession” to Judee 
McGrane^, the same man who 
later as U. S. Attorney General, 
suppressed the Popc*s plea for

Introduction 

Since the Spring oiT 1951, when Ethel 
Julius Rosenbeig were sentenced to death 
Morton Sobell to SO years at Alcatraz at 
conclusion of a hurried ten-day trial, an 
growing debate has developed throughout the 

country ns to the fiacts in the cstse. 

. • . ' - • 

Jn March, 1952, the National Onnmittee to 
Secure Justice in the Rosenberg Case published 
the Entire trial transcript. On the basis of 
these transcripu. thousands of which were sold 
throughout the country, the national debate on 
the facts in the Rosenbeig case assumed tre- 
mendous proportions. ? 

Dr. Harold Ur^, Prof. Albert Einstein, Prof. 

many attorneys, educators 
and religious leaders called for clemency. More 
and more people became convinced that grave 
doubt exists as to the guilt of the Rosenbergs 
and Morton Sobell and that the short ten-day 
trial did not contain the necessaiy guarantees of 
.^a fair trial imder the American Constitution. 
Eighty thousand Americans signed an amicus 
brief, requesting a netv trial for the Rosenbergs 
and Morton Sobell. Many more thousands ap- 
pealed to the President of the United Sutes to 
grant clemency to the Rosenbeigs. 

Now, in the Spring of 1955, new documents 
have come to light, throwing serious doubt on 
the testimony of David and Ruth Greenglass, 
chief witnesses against the Rosenbeigs. These 
documents, first published in France, were pre- 
sented to the American people at a public rally 
of 10,000 people at Randall’s Island Stadium in 

New York on May 3, 1953. 

1 

In the interest of seeking the truth in the 
Rosenberg Case, guaranteeing American Justice, 
and preventing the tragic execution of two 
people who to this day maintain their complete 
innocence, we present these documents to the 
American people. 


liii 


The Documents 



1 'yi\ 


r •r- • . 


r — ' ^ - 

The documeiits received by the National Committee to Secure 
Justice in the Rosenberg Case arrived fom the French Rosenberg 
Committee in the form of photostatsl 

The first document consists of three pages written in David 
Creenglass* own handwriting. These three pages were later authen* 
ticated by a foremost handwriting expert, Mrs. Elizabeth McCarthy, 
ol Boston, Mass. The document is dated “Saturday, June 1950” 
It purports to be a statement or recapitulation of what David 
Creenglass told the F.B.I. 

The importance of this document lies in the contradiction 
it gives to Creenglass’ courtroom testimony; it is written in the 

I ‘ - * 

language of a man inventing a story rather than telling a truthful 

narrative; it contains serious and inexplicable omissions, and 

• * ^ 

finally, confesses that he permitted the F.B.L to “remember” for 
him events he could not himself recall. 

The second document, dated June. 18, 1950, is a typewritten 
one, also of three pages, which ap|>ears to a memorandum from 
an attorney for his files. It concerns a discussion between members 
of the law firm and relatives of David Creenglass. This second 
document is likewise of extreme importance because in it Mrs. 
Ruth Creenglass, David’s wife, contradicts vital aspects of her 
husband’s written statement and courtroom testimony and por- 
trays her husband as an hysteric and liar. This dc^ment provides 
evidence that Creenglass committed perjury. 

These two documents do not deal with peripheral or secondary 
matters in the case. They go to the heart of the case, and therefore 
raise fundamental doubts, which, when taken in the context of 
other doubts — particularly the absence of a single document link- 
ing the Rosenbergs to a “conspiracy to commit espionage” — cause 
the trial to be viewed in an altogether new light.^ 

The following pages present a comparison of the newly dis- 
covered documents with the Creenglass testimony. 




“TENDENCY TO HYSTERIA^' 





;> 




In a decision of the U^; Court of Appeak, Judge Jerome. N. Frank said: 
**Poubtl^ if that (Greenglass) . testimony were disregarded the conviction 
(against the Rosenbergs) could not.stand/^ 

In effect Judge Frank pc^ed the questipn — which man will you believe, 
David Greenglass or Julius Rosenbeig? If Greenglass lied there is no case against 
the Rosenberes. , . 

‘ -i ■ • • ■■ ■ ■ '* • 

■ I . 

One of the new documents, the typewritten lawyer's memorandum describ- 
ing an interview with Ruth Greenglass, David's wife, gives an intimate account 

• . I*. 

of what kind of a person Greenglass is. .Here, is a report of what Greenglass* 
wife has to say about him: 

^Aa to her husband^ she stated that he had a Hendencj to 
hysteria/ At other times he would become delirious and once whoi 
he had the grippe he ran nude through the hallway, shrieking of 
^elephants*, and ^lead pants/ ’ 

^She had known him since he was ten years old. She said that 
he would say things w^ere so even if they were not. He talked of suicide 
as if he were a character in the movies but she didnU think he would 
do it.’’ 


GREENGLASS ADMITS LIE 

In the document in Greenglass* handwriting, he frankly admits making 
statements he did not remember to be trile, and directly lying to the F.B.I. He 
writes, describing a statement to the F.B.I.: 

stated that I met Gold in N. M. at 209 Hick St., my place. 
They told me that I had told him to eome back later because I didn’t 

have it ready. I didn’t remember this but I allowed it in the statement.” 

' .. : <' • ' ^ 

... ‘ ^ '• V . 3 t\ -i i'r 

* / 

Thus he admits letting the F.B.I. put words into^is mouth. Then he adds: 

^But this m tell you, I can honestly say the information I gave 
. Gold may be not at all what I said in the statement.” 


- 4 ^ 




The language Greenglass uses throughout his written document is that of 
a man fabricating a story. **1 made sure to tell the F.B.L**, '*1 established the 
approximate meeting place**, “I definitely placed** — these arc the kind erf. 
phrases he uses. 

SUMMARY — Dr« Harold C* Urej, nudear acientiat, said after reading 
the transcript of the trial: found the Rosenberg testimony more believ- 

able than the Creenglaas.*’ 

David Greenglass, a hysteric and a self-confessed liar, la the man on 
whose word two persona have been sentenced to die. 

HISTORY REFUTES TESTIMONY 

The most damaging testimony against Ethel and Julius Rosenberg was the 
sworn testimony of Ruth and David Greenglass, who claimed that the Rosen- 
bergs recruited them as spies. On the basis of this testimony, above all else, the 
Rosen bergs were condemned to death. 

In his handwritten statement, Greenglass relates how he told the F.B.I. 
that his wife had been sent to recruit him for espionage by Julius Rosenberg. 

He says: 

told them that on a visit to me in November, 1944, my wife 
asked me if I would give information. I made sure to tell the F.B.I. 
that she was transmitting this info from my brother-in-law Julius and 
was not her own idea.^ 

In court Ruth Greenglass went into great detail about the description of 
the A-bomb she purports to have received from Julius Rosenberg in November, 
1944. 


A. (Co&tiDsed) And he said — I wanted to know bow he 
knew whai Da^id was doing. He said that hia f rienda bad 
told him that David was working on the atomie bomhi and 
he went on to tell me that the atomie bomb waa the moat 
deatnietive weapon used so far, that it had dai^roua radia- 
tion effeeta, that the United Statea and Britain were work- 

^ . r - ' . 

Trial Transcript, p. 679 . ■ 

Mrs. Greenglass claimed to have learned ^about the atomic bomb in Nov. 
1944. However, in the ty prewritten document, Mrs. Greenglass admits not know- 


4 


- 5 - 




ing about the bomb until it was dropped on Hiroshima in August, 1945. The 
document states: 

^She would not have allowed her huahand to bring anyt hing 
home after Hiroshima had disclosed what the project was* She in* 
tended to raise a family and did not want that kind of material 
around.^ 

t • ' 

SUMMARY — Thus on the witness stand Ruth Creenglass claimed 
to have known all about the A-bomb in November, 1944* But in the mem<^ 
randum she says that she did not know about the A-bomb until Hiroshima 
in August, 1945 — the time when the American people learned of the bomb* 
If Julius Rosenbeig had told her, as she claimed, of the ^dangerous radia- 
tion effects'* of the atomic bomb in 1944, she would not have had to wait 
until 1945 to learn what the project was* 


WAS GREENGLASS GUILTY OF URANIUM THEFT? 

The prosecution posed an important question — why did Ethel and Julius 
Rosenbeig try to get a vaccination certificate for David Greenglass to leave the 
country? The defense stated the Rosen bergs believed that Greenglass may have 
been involved in theft — possibly uranium theft. 

The document quoting the interview with Mrs. Greenglass admits she and 
her husband were questioned about uranium when an F.B.I. agent visited their 
home in February, 1950. But in the trial, Greenglass refused to say why the F.B.I. 
visited them. The document says: 

^^She (Ruth Greenglass) pointed out Dave did not ask for the 
job; that he was going overseas; that they have been watched con- 
stantly and feels as if they are the object of persecution* Shortly before 
. their accident the F.B.I* asked if they had a specimen of uranium in 
the house, in the course of what they call a routine investigation* One 
of their friends had a similar experience*** - ^ 

. The uranium question was brought out by the trial testimony of Julius 

4 

- 6 - 





Rosenberg, who stated that he believed David Greenglass was Irotible** 
because ol a possible theft of uranium* 


And f recall ti ihai time in my mind tlie incideiit — ^ 
inatant he told me what happened to him in Febrnary adicn 
the FBI had omne around to visit him and qo^tion him 
aboat aooie nraninm. I thought maybe it had somethinf to 
dn with that or had sometMng to do with a converaatian 
Biithie had with maay jeara hack. 


1251 

**I said, *Dave, are yon in trouble or somethingt* 

**He said, *Don*t ask me anything about it Ton got 
to do thia for me. If yon can’t give me the money I need, 
at least do this for me.’ ” 

And the Court asked yon at the time some questions 
, about the fact that you were unfriendly or yon were hostile 
to each other, and in tiie face of that yon said he came to 
you and he put this twofold truest to yoq, the $200D., and 
if yon can’t do that for him,* the certificate showing that 
he bad been vaccinated for smallpox, and also the addi-* 
[fol. 1860] tional matter of asking the doctor while yon 
were at it what was required to go into Mexico. 


Q. Did anybody ever adc you for $2000i for a smaUpox 
wrtificate or what kind of injections were required to gel 
into Mexioot 

A. Yes, David Oreenglass. 

Q. I say, did anybody else ever ask von for anything 
like that? ’ ^ 

A. No, air. 

Q. Did yon proceed to find out wHyf 

A. He was very agitated, and I asked hire in the best 
way I knew how to ask him. 

Q. Did yon suspect why he wanted itf 

A. I suspected he was in some trouble. 

Q. Did you suspect perhaps that it had to do with the 
theft of gasoline from the Annyf 

A. Possibly, part. 

Q. Did you suspect perhaps that it had something to do 
with the theft of uranium from Los Alamosf 

A. Possibly. 

Q. Did you suspect that it had something to do with 
the type of information relating to the atomic bombf 
[fol. 18611 A. No, I didn’t suspect that. 


Trial Transcript, pp. 1121, 1251 

But the Greenglass testimony in the trial deliberately evaded the uranium 
issue. Greenglass — you will note — purporu not to remember why the F.B.I. 
agent visited him 

Q. vrhere did these FHl representativet sea or speak to 
yon in February, 1960? 

A. One man called me up on the phone and he said he 
would like to see me. He came to my house; be sat down 
at my table ; I offered him a cup of coffee mid we spoke — 
he did not say to me that he suspected me of espionage 
or anything else — he just spoke to me about whether I had 
[fol. 802] known anybody at Los Alamos, and that was 
the gist of the whole conversation.,^ He walked out of the 
house maybe an hour later, and that is all there was to St. 

Q. All right now, let’s see. Did he introduce hiiftwlf 
as a member of the FBIf v 

A. He did. 

Q. Did he ask yon any questions, either directly or in- 
dirMtly, with respect to your knowledge of any illegal 
activity that occurred at Los Alsmos while you were theref ' 

A. I don’t recall exactly what the whole conversation 
was about. It made very little effect on me, because it * 
didn’t — I mean, it didn’t seeid like anything — I mean— ^ 


A. I Continuing:) Ho discussed with me — when he came 
into the house it was very difficult to find out what he 
wanted. • He didn’t come out and say that he wanted some 
information. He just talked around the point. I didnft 
get what he really wanted to find out. 

Trial Transcript, pp 564. 565 


SUMMARY — Ruth Greenglass admitted to her attorney that an F.B J. 
agent visited them in February^ 1950» to question them about uranium*

TEXT OF GREENGLASS' DOCUMENT " 

Saturdaj 
June 1950 

Tliese are my a)>proximate statements to the F.B.I. 

1. I stated that I met Co^d in N. M. at 209 Hick St., myYlace. 
They told me that I had told him to come hack later because 1 didn't 
have it ready. I didn't remember this but I allowed it in the sutement. 
When he came back again 1 told them that I gave him the envelope with 
the stuff not expecting payment and then he gave me an envelope. Later 
I found that it contained $500. 

2. I told them that on a visit to me in Nov. 1944 my wife asked me 
if 1 would give information. I made sure to tell the F.B.I. that she was 
transmitting this info from my brother-in-law Julius and was not her own 
idea. She was doing this because she felt 1 would be angry if she didn't 
ask ibe. 

I then mentioned a meeting with a man who I didn't know, arranged 
1^ Julius. I established the smpibximate meeting place but no exact date. 
*1^ place was a car. an Olds owned by my father-in-law, at somewhere 
above 42iid St. on Ist Ave. in Manhattan. I talked to the man but I could 
recall very tittle about which we spe^e. 1 thou^ it might be that he 
wanted me to think about finding out about H.£. lens^ used in 'experi- 
ment tests to determine data on the A bmnK 

I made a general statement <m my a^, etc; you know, the usual 

thing. 

I mo^tioned no other meetmg with anyone

Mrs. Greenglass discussed her visit to New Mexico. She was there between March 1945 and 


March 1946. They had been married in 1942. She feels that New Mexico is a very bad place 
to try the case since the dttiens did not like Gl's, because of the big boom and then the big 
slad, because of anti-sanitism and because the locd dtizciis all fdt oitter about the wives cw 
the GFs taking jobs there. She was employed in Albuquerque by the OPA and temporarily by 
the Soil Conservation Office. 

As to her husband, she stated that ' he had a **tetidency to hysteria**. At other times he 
would become delirious and once when he had the grippe ie ran nude through the hallway.

At the trial the Creeng^asses evaded this issue. Is it possible that this might 
account for some of the mone^ which Creenglass received from Gold? Is it 
possible that uranium — precious to the production of the atomic bomb — 
is something which machinist David Greenglass could obtain a little more 
easily perhaps than the secret of the atomic bomb? 


A THREAT CARRIED OUT 


A basic defense theory was that Greenglass implicated Julius Rosenberg to 
lessen his own punishment and protect his wife, Ruth Greenglass. 


Julius Rosenbeig, in direct testimony, stated that Greenglass had threatened 
him in late May or early June, 1950 (before Greenglass' arrest) . The testimony 
. follows: 


Q. Would you aay this was still in BCny, or would yon any 
thU was already in Janet 

A. It might have been the first week in June or the end 
of May. 

Q. Ton are not soret 

A. I can't fix it exactly, if U was a day or two in Jane 
or a day or two in May.

I says, “No, Dave, I can't d^ that." 

He says, “Can you take it from the business for me?" 

I says, '‘Dave, I cannot do that." 

“Well, Julie, I just got to have that money and if you 
don’t get me that money you are going to be sorry." 

I said, “Look here, Dave, wbat are yon trying to do, 
threaten me or blackmail me?" - 


Trial Transcript, pp. 1128, 1130 

David Greenglass* handwritten document now confirms the defense theory. 
Greenglass writes:

* 




made sure to tell the F.B.L that she (Ruth) was transmitting 
this info from my brother-in*law Julius and was not her idea* She was 
doing this because she felt I would be angry if she didnU ask me*^ 

SUMMARY — From the wording of the written document, made 
sure to tell the F.B.I.% it can be seen that Greenglass deliberately implicated 
Julius Rosenberg, at the same time shielding his wife. Thus the document 
confirms the defense theory and shows how Greenglass made gbod Jiis 
threat against Julius Rosenberg* 


WHOLESALE LYING 

David Greenglass and Harry Gold were indicted in New Mexico on 
charges of espionage. It was on the basis of this indictment that David Green- 
glass vfvs arrested. His early statements deal with Gold almost exclusively. The 
tri.il testimony places greater and greater emphasis upon Julius Rosenberg, who 
Greenglass alleged sent Gold as a spy courier. In light of this direct implication 
of Julius Rosenberg with. Greenglass and Gold it is necessary to take note of 
the following serious discrepancies between the documents and the Greenglass 
testimony. 

Greenglass, in his own handwriting, admits regarding his statement to the 
F.B.L: 

^Also, I definitely placed my wife out of the room at the time of 
Gold’s visit.” 

f 

In direct contradiction, Ruth Greenglass not only testified that she was in 
the room at the time of Gold's visit, but identified Gold from a photograph. 
Her testimony follows:

Now note a second contradiction. In the handwritten statement Greenglass 
confesses:

But on the witness stand he told a diflFerent story. He said Gold had been 
sent by Julius Rosenbeig:

SUMMARY — Here are two direct contradictions on crucial points In 
the testimony. Greenglass admits he didn’t know who sent Gold to him, 
while in the trial he testified that it was Julius Rosenberg. In the document 
Greenglass places his wife outside the room on Gold’s alleged visit, whUe 
in the trial his wife claimed she was in the room* . 

THE MYSTERIOUS $4,000 


A vital contradiction in dales revealed by the new documents shatters 
Greenglass testimony abodt the $4,000 the Rosenbergs allegedly gave him to 
leave the country.

But the newly-discovered memorandum based on discussions that tot^ place 
two days later -on June 18, 1950 -describes “hnandal problems” and notes a 
request by Mrs. Creenglass that Rogge try to get himself court-appointed in the 
cases. The memorandum says: 


“We first discussed the question d arranging a meeting of 
various relatives at our oflSce to discuss financial problems. The rela- 
tives proposed are as follows ... 


“There was sub^quently present during the conference: Issy 
Fcit, Sam Creenglass, Bernard Creenglass, and Louis Abel • • . Mrs. 
Creenglass urged OJR to try io get a court appointment for himself 
and he agreed to try.” 


. Mrs. Creenglass, who in the above asked Rogge to become court-appointed, 
testified in the trial that she was aware of the payment of $4,000 before she left 
the hospital on June 16, 1950. ^ ^ , 

Ethel Rosenbeig, who denied ever giving the 14.006. testified as follows 
with respect to the Creenglass* need for money:

OTHER 0ISCRa>ANCIES 




• ^ ly‘ ^ ii. 




The foregoing have been a series ol ocanparisom between the court record 


and the newly discovered documents, in the Rosenberg case. The consistent 
pattern of discrepancies between the Greenglass testimony and the documents 
on some of the most vital points of this csise have been demonstrated. Also, it 
has been seen that the Rosenberg testimony in many cases is consistent with the 


documents. 


A number of other discrepancies are present in the discovered documents. 
For example, itr the documents Ruth' Greejiglass admits rhar ^'pec^Ie 
flocking in the house to offer support. and advice . l*i-^While in her testimtmy 
she insisted that no one had come to - Her house. In the document she admits 
“The Jewish Daily Forward ... has offered a lawyer’^ while in the testimony 
she denied s[^aking to any newspaper men during her first days at home. In thf* 
document she suggests “people in the neighborhood want to raise a petition . . 
(an act which implies a belief in innocence) while in her testimony she stoutly 
denied telling anyone she and her husband were mnocent.

Finally, the reader must understand that Davi^^nd Ruth Gi^nglass swore 
on the witness stand that from the first hour of Greenglass* arrest^ they told the 
entire truth in the case. In cross-examination; defense attorney Emanuel Blcxdi 
drew from David Greenglass an admission that in his early statements he made

CONaUSIONS 

j ^ r. ^ . - , : ■«-''* 

There is literally not one single statement in the newly-discovered documents 
which is not at variance with the trial ^stknpny. Smne of the points of difference 

are so obvious that even tli^ most cursory knowledge <ff the court record one is 

« » ' ' 

aware <rf the impcxtancc ot these differences. Other points are more subtle and 
require a study of the entire record as well as an understanding of the theory 
advanced by both the prosQcutimi and the defense. 


There is one part of the document, however, that ailmost defies description 
or analysis. David Greenglass* final statement in his written document reads 
as follows: “But this I can honestly say the information I gave Gold may be 
not at all what I said in the statement.'* 


What is the meaning of the above quote? Can one begin to speculate? 
What did Greenglass actually give Harry Gold? What is the actual crime that 
^ook place? Was the atCHn bomb sfolen by David Greenglass? 

Can there be any more basic question in a case in which two people are 
being sent to their death for the theft of the atom bomb?jCan we, after reading 
the above, lightly accent the fact that Julius and. Ethel Rosenberg will be 
executed for a crime which we are not even sure took place? 


If in two accidentally discovered documenu so many inconsistencies, so 
many open lies, and so many doubts become apparent, must we not wonder 
what future documents will unfold and what other obvious lies they will reveal? ’ 


American justice is the responsibility of all American citizens. Execution 
of the Rosenbergs despite the mountains of doubt ymuld be a tragic event that 
would reflect adversely on the good name of our country, and remain upon 
the consciences of all Ameritan citizens. We urge you to write and wire President 


Eisenhower to grant clemency to the Rosenbeigs so that the full facts in the case 
may come to lighL

FOREWORD 

On February 13, 1953, VOsservatore Rosnano, ofiScial newspaper 
of the Vatican, made public a message of Pope Pius XII asking tfiat 
clemency be granted Julius and Ethel Rosenberg. The paper said: 

"Certain newspapers have called the Holy Father to account con- 
cerning the fate of the Rosenbergs, as if he had remained unmoved 
by the various pleas addressed to him to intervene in their favor. Now 
if is well to know that His Holiness, even though unable to enter into 
the merits of the case, never refuses his interest, whenever it is a 
matter of saving human lives, out of the high motives of charity ap- 
propriate to his apostolic mission; and as he has done compassionately 
in several other similar cases, so also in this one he has not failed 
to intervene, as much as it was permitted him in the absence of any 
official relations with the competent Government authorities.” 

Since the intervention of the Vatican had not been made public by 
the U.S. government, many requests for clarification came to the 
Apostolic Delegation in Washington. The delegation issued the fol- 
lowing statement, also on Feb. 13: 

"At the request of the Holy See, the Apostolic Delegation com- 
municated last December to the American Department of Justice that 
the Holy Father had received numerous and urgent appeals to inter- 
vene in favor of Ethel and Julius Rosenberg; appeals which His Holi- 
ness, without' being able to enter into the merits of the question, felt 
it opportune out of the charitable purposes of his Apostolic Office, 
to bring to the knowledge of the U.S. civil authorities.” 

The same evening, the Pope sent another message, this time mak- 
ing certain it was handed to the President. The Apostolic Delegate 
stated in a letter to Sherman Adams, assistant to the President: 

“Furthermore, I am asked by the Holy See to inform the com- 
petent U.S. authorities that many more requests have been received 
by the Vatican asking the Holy Father to intercede for clemency for 
the Rosenbergs; and that left-wing newspapers continue to state that 
His Holiness has done nothing. I shall be most grateful to you if you 
will kindly notify the President of this.” 

The entire world was stirred by the appeals of the Vatican for 
clemency. 

• On April 16, 1953, VOsservatore Roniano published an elaboration 
of the Popes statement in a lei'.gtliy article signed by P. F. Cavelli, 
S. J., and prepared for La Civilta Cattolica. The first section dealt 
with the background of the Pope’s appeal. The second section, titled 
“The Significance of an Intervention,” is reprinted on the following 
pages.

On Api^ 16y 1953, “L’Osservatore 
Romano” published an elaboration of 
the Pope*s statement. The first section 
dealt ^ with the background of the 
Pope*s appeal. The second section, 
Sigm ^cance of an IrUerver^ 
tion/* is reprinted on the following 
pages. 



The Significance of an Intervention 

But neither the maneuvres which the Communists are developing in favor 
of the Rosenbergs, nor the indignation of Americans for the betrayal by which 
they feel seriously threatened, could dissuade the Pope from his intervention. 

It would wrong the consciousness which the Holy Father has of his divine 
mandate of mercy, and at the same time misunderstand the very great gifts 
of clearsightedness recognized in him by the world's esteem, to believe that 
he, in his goodness, fell victim, as some would insinuate, to the insidiousness 
of the Communists through the appeals directed to him. 

Not all the petitions addressed to his paternal heart were from Commu- 
nists. The death penalty is an extreme remedy which, no matter what the 
crime it auns to punish, arouses in certain people a lively repugnance. More 
numerous even are those whose goodness of soul causes diem to dwell on 
the pitful aspects of a punishment rather than its necessity, however serious 
the crime that deserved it. Further, the case of the young couple sentenced 
to die together is so pitiful as to arouse sincere commiseration even in those 
not animated by any ignoble partisan interest in wanting to save their lives. 
In particular, that a woman should wait in a “death chamber” for th e mo- 
ment of execution is in itself an event as tragic as it is rare and is such as to 
arouse instinctively a sense of horror. Wfeh, then, two children, Michael 
9 years old and Robert 5, are involved in this tearful fate, many hearts can 
be melted, before ^wo little innocents on whose soul and destiny the death 
of their parents would forever leave sinister scars. No one can deny how this 
circumstance at least gives reason to the heartfelt insistence of the mothers 


3 




who wanted to bring their agonized pleas to the Vicar of Him who dearly 
loved children. 

The Communists, who bear the full responsibility for this pitiful drama, 
wanted to use it as* an expedient of their propaganda against the United 
States, claiming reasons of justice and humanity and rejecting the results 
of the trial. But this is no reason why the sad fate of the couple and their chib 
dre should remain without an echo in the hearts of many and all the less so 
in the heart of the Holy Father. 

He, weighing the miserable and fraudulent calculation of many who, 
being enemies of God, prove themselves the worst enemies of man, acted 
out of those feelings which while bearing witness to the merciful mission 
of the Pontificate, honor at the same time the human soul in the most sublime 
fashion. 

Elevated to an oflSce which puts him above diflFerences which can divide 
peoples and individuals. Supreme Head of a religion erected on the law of 
love, representative on earth of Jesus who died forgiving his crucifiers, the 
Pope has received from God a law which is not that of common rulers. Father 
of all men, his appeal for the Rosenbergs, rendered more solemn by the suf- 
fering of the illness which struck him at that time, admirably fits in with the 
entire work of his Pontificate, which coincides with one of the unhappiest 
periods in all history. 

Teacher and guide of the people, with the torch of Christ’s doctrine, the 
Pope at the same time is perennially called from his sublime oflSce to bow, as 
did Jesus, before the sufferings which afflict the human race in every age. 

But divine Providence has shown that in this Pontiff particularly it wants 
a pious Samaritan for the sorrows which in such large measure are and have 
been the tragic heritage of these years. ^ ^ 

It was the Pontiff who tried every way to preserve the world from war; 
and who one day when he went forth in person among the ruins and blood 
shed by bombardments even around the Vatican, had already accomplished 
a tremendous labor to soften the frightful consequences of four years of war; 
writing indelible pages capable of redeeming partially at least the horrendous 
cruelty of the conflict. Pages that profoundly registered in the hearts of mil- 
lions raised up by his sublime call to a more serene vision in an hour of dark- 
ness and sorrows and comforted in innumerable cases through the intervention 
of his charity. 

It is not out of place to recall the work done by the Information Offices 
of the Vatican in response to the thousands of agonized requests that came 
to the Holy Father personally from all parts of the world; the visits to the 
P.O.W. camps o( his representatives; the material and spiritual aids given to 

4 


• # 


throngs of sufferers. ... At war s end, but his mournful balance not closed, 
there went the Pope, pursuing his unexhausted mission of mercy among the 
sick, the needy, the prisoners, the institutionalized, particularly the infants, 
who in more than one country suffered most and are still suffering from the 
dreadful effects of the war. 

The whole Catholic Church with its central and peripheral organization, 
gave of itself in an immense and divine charitable undertaking, as is com- 
manded by the spirit of its divine Founder, and which today stands forth 
luminously in the words and labor of the Vicar who represents Him on earth. 

It is not by chance that the Holy Father s gesture in favor of the Rosen- 
bergs falls in with the aid he sent in those same days to the unfortunate 
flood victims in England, Belgium and HoUand. 

This Pontiff, then, certainly had the right, by nature of his mission and 
his accomplishments, to exercise again an act of charity for which his paternal 
heart had been appealed to with so much insistence. Furthermore, the Holy 
Father was not performing an unusual gesture, even with respect to the par- 
ticular character of the intervention in favor of the Rosenbergs. As a matter 
of fact, as L Osservatore Romano recalled in the above ihentioned commu- 
nique, he “never refuses his interest when it is requested to save human lives, 
out of the higher motives of his apostolic ministry ... as he has compas- 
sionately done in several other similar cases. . , 

UNINTERRUPTED. TRADITION OF CHARITY 

The whole history of the Popes frequently speaks of their actions upon 
state authorities in behalf of men of every condition and faith. Not a small 
part of the immense and constant work of charity accomplished by the Pon- 
tiffs could come precisely under the heading of “humanitarian intervention.” 

Says an eminent scholar of international law:^ -The expression is derived 
from the modem diplomatic practice which recognized, especially in the last 
century, various cases of this species of intervention, celebrated as one of the 
major conquests of our time, and as one of the ways the modem sense of 
humanity manifests itself.” Now, continues this illustrious jurist, “in no epoch 
has this humanitarian intervention used by states had so energetic forms or 
was used so frequently” as by the Popes “in remote medieval times.” 

And from then on it has never been Jess, while in these last years it has 
shone with singular splendor in the Pontificate of Pius XII. 

Newspapers and periodicals have tried to give some indications of this. 
Still the few lines remained inadequate to the argument which demands 
another development. Even our brief and inorganic illustrations lift only a 
comer* of the veil discreetly extended over how much the Supreme Pontiff 
accomplished during the conflict on this question. 

5 


Several examples chosen among many constitute a glorious and imposing 
documentation, to which are added many more when the tragic fate of Italy 
and the greater facility for reaching the Holy Father were such that He re- 
ceived numerous appeals in behalf of unhappy victims of capital punish- 
ment at the hands of German and Fascist authorities. Previously the Holy 
Father's interventions had become so frequent and so pressing as to induce 
the German Ambassador to the Holy See to express a hope that intercessions 
on behalf of those condemned by the military authorities be reduced. 

The Holy See answered him that “we cannot avoid (when it seems op- 
portune to do so) invoking clemency from the competent authorities even 
if it be annoying or superfluous to do so." 

These interventions do not counter, but instead fall in with the just and 
necessary equilibrium of the functions of higher personages in whose hands 
rest the fates of peoples and individuals. 

There are judicial and executive powers in the high administrations of 
nations; but there are also moral powers which, if they cannot rigorously 
appeal to the Right, can claim a sacred majesty from the splendor of Science, 
the value of notable personal merits, the nobility of proven sentiments, the 
august dignity of a religious mission. To some, God has entrusted the scales 
of justice defended by the sword; to the others, He has commissioned the 
part of moderator and illuminator, which would be too short-sighted not to 
take into consideration. 

Coming to the interv’ention of the Holy Father in behalf of the Rosenbergs, 
it was not intended to be and was not an undue interference in the domestic 
affairs of another power, nor an invasion of its authority. Better than every- 
one, the Pontiff knew the limits within which he had to keep by virtue of his 
ecclesiastic and interna donal prerogatives. If one consider it well, the Pope 
did not make a formal appeal in favor of the Rosenbergs; he pointed out to 
the American government that many demands were made upon him to inter- 
cede for their salvation. Presenting his discreet but nonetheless eloquent 
appeal, which carried the weight of his august personality, the Holy Father 
declared that he was not entering into the merits of the case. With this, his 
intervention had nothing in common with the campaign artificially unleashed 
by the Communists, who without qualification labeled the Rosenbergs' 
sentence illegal and unjust, substituting themselves for the courts which had 
examined the Rosenbergs' faults. It was not for the Pope to pronounce him- 
self on the merits of the accusations, or on the exigencies of a procedure 
which seemed to have been scrupulously observed, or on the testimony, or 
the ratio of the crime to the punishment. All the more so in a trial which had 
the concurrence of the great majority of citizens not only in America but 
out of it; and was such that, outside of a few sporadic criticisms, it was not 

6 




4 


easy to find a single one of those evident characteristics which distinguish 
trials in Communist countries, particularly against the Catholic clergy and 
Bishoprics. The Holy Father did not pose a single doubt or raise a single 
suspicion on tiiis score. 

Apart from the conclusions of the judges and the deliberation of the 
powers called in final petition for a verdict on the commutation, he made a 
plea for mercy. It was up to the Head of the State, to whom the case was 
brought, to consider the solemn appeal in the comprehensive examination of 
all those motives which not for the only time in history, have induced a ruler 
to overcome with clemency the rigid confines of justice. If, in spite of this, 
the President did not see fit to grant clemency, the Supreme PontiflF did not 
intend to question who was to decide judgment, taking into accoimt all the 
aspects of this sad case. 

Neither in taking his step did the Holy Father deny, as was inconsider- 
ately reproached him, the right of peoples to defend themselves against the 
insidiousness of internal enemies who today in no small measure try to open 
the road to outside enemies. It is well known, furthermore, that the Catholic 
Church does not condemn in principle the death sentence, the extreme 
punishment which certain crimes can demand when they seriously threaten 
the common welfare. 

INCOMPREHENSIBLE SECTARIANISMS 

These obvious considerations w^ere not understood by everyone. 

One must read with horror certain sharp words of those who wished that 
night should give no peace to him who contributed to changing the course 
of justice already pronounced on the two prisoners. The Christian, placed be- 
fore the raw decisions of courts, even when he approves of them and demands 
them, knows how to find in his heart and in his religion a sentiment of com- 
passion for him who, having sinned, must now suffer the punishment, no 
matter how just for his misdeeds. He himself, with, all the esteem he may be 

held by his fellowmen, knows that he has more need of mercy than justice 
before God. Therefore, not with the diabolical yearning for vendetta, but 
with regret that others, having been found wanting, must expiate, does Man, 
and more so, a Christian, accept and when necessary, demand that justice 
fulfill its hard function. 

It is again displeasing that in the intervention of the Holy Father, some 
should pretend to see an intrusion of a “foreign citizen.” The Holy Father is 
a sovereign and in this case appeared the more majestic in that, divested of 
any national particularity, he became a herald of a principle which transcends 
particularistic regions and touches the highest summit of the Christian and 
human spirit. 

\ 

7 


/ 


Thus he was not a foreign citizen when he, without regard to nationality 
or politics, nor questioning the demands of military codes, shunned the fear 
that his steps might be misinterpreted and permitted himself to ask many 
times for an act of clemency in order to save a human life. 

The reproach to the Holy Father that he was being indulgent to Commu- 
nists in intervening in behalf of the Rosenbergs and the reminder that Com- 
munism is inhumanly persecuting Cardinals, Bishops, Priests, Monks, and 
Nuns, was out of place. This was an unjust and irreverent act, for in no other 
heart does the painful fate of the persecuted of Christ echo as much as in 
the heart of the Holy Father; nevertheless, feeling the suflFerings of so many 
oppressed ones, it is not forbidden one who is the repository of universal 
fatherhood to make a merciful gesture for whoever suflFers under the burden 
of sorrow, be they innocent or guilty. 

There were those who wished to stir up dissension between Catholics and 
Protestants on a sectarian basis for an act which is evident from its nature 
to be above all divisions, when the discreet limits to which the appeal con- 
fined itself should have found agreement from those who worship the same 
God. 


Finally, it is most inopportune to claim the separation of Church and 
State existing in the Republic, in order to reject the Holy Fathers plea. Not 
only was this plea addressed precisely to the advantage of two non-Catholics, 
but it, though not taking account of the theological reasons that flowed from 
the religion which the Roman Pontiff heads, had its moral justification for 
Ihc appeals made to the liighest principles of huinanitarianism; an historical 
coherence conforming to thousands of years traditions among the civ'iliza- 
tions of peoples, a precise- and solid juridical foundation in the diplomatic 
customs of many centuries, concretized in institutions conferring on all the 
right to humanitarian intervention. 

Thus the appeal of the Holy Father, far from causing even a minimum 
harm to the majesty of civil power and the cause of justice, highly honored 
them, both by its call to the noble sovereignity of mercy, and by the dignity 
of its noble intercessor. 

There is no doubt that when history returns to this episode, it will seal 
with a word of highest praise^

Foreword 

rpHE struggle to save the lives of Ethel and Julius Rosen- 
berg reflects the universal humanitarian response at 
the plight of two individuals. It is an expression of genu- 
ine self-concern on the part of millions who know that 
the terror now stalking these two innocent people is a 
threat to the lives and liberties of all. A tremendous num- 
ber of people, including leading scientists, lawyers, and 
jurists, hav^ raised serious questions about the facts of the 
case and th^ judicial procedure involved. If, in the face 
of these questions,, the Rosenbergs are.Vxecuted by a 
vengeful state, no individual will be safe from unjust per- 
secution. 

* * * 

¥N the, course’ of this struggle, the poems and songs of 
Edith Segal have been a beacon of inspiration and 
hope in the tradition of Emile Zola. To writers and ar- 
tists she has given a brilliant example of the way to voice 
the deep-felt prayers of millions. To those who have 
marched on picket-lines and climbed endless-* flights of 
stairs in search of justice and truth, these lines of word 
and song have captured the burning emotions of the 
heart and mind; And to the two people now in Sing Sing’s ' 
Death House, these poems echo the strength and com- 
passion of an enraged world which will virite the final 
song of justice triumphant to the case of Ethel and Julius 
Rosenberg.

Dear Ethel and Julius Rosenberg: 

It is 5 am., April 6th, 1953. You are locked in 
your cells, asleep — or trying to sleep. 

We have never met. Yet today, as for many months, 
you have been with me as with countless new friends, 
far into the inspired night. 

Now in the seemingly quiet hour that welcomes 
another dawn, this little book stands ready for the 
printer. He will multiply it many times. 

For its message we will find new ears, new hearts, 
new hands to hurry for you and Morton Sobell the 
dawn which will open the gates for your home- 
coming, and to peace for all of us. 

Edith Segal 





f' 


Give U$ Your Hand! 

Tonight i 

as you quietly draw the curtain 

on the day’s activity 
and reclining 

contemplate the fertile promise of unborn time 

imagine 

you 

are Ethel or Julius Rosenberg 
in the Death House at Sing Sing 

The dimness is a fog 

your eyes defy 

Sleep is a luxury long lost 

After dignity — time 
being most treasured 

measured by the hurrying steps of death- 
even napping is a thief 

Suddenly there’s light in your cell 

in the prison block 

in the house on Monroe Street 

where you lived with your children 

in the narrow streets 

of New York’s lower east side, your city 

in every city in the land 
in the assembly halls in all the schools, 
your school, P.S. 88 

where you stood with your hand upon your 
heart 

as you faced the flag and said the words 
that were to give your life direction: 

With Liberty ajid Justice For All 


Now 

you stand at the bars of your cell 

with your hands cupped wide at your mouth 

and shout to the world at the top of your lungs: 

IF YOU SLEEP WHILE THEY KILL US 
WILL THEY KILL YOU WHILE YpU SLEEP? 

If you ever breathed too deeply 
the air of brotherhood 
clasped black and white hands 
in your neighborhood 

* or gave a dime 
for democratic Spain A* 

or signed your name 
to nominate your choice 
,a voice for peace 

WILL THEY KILL YOU WHILE YOU SLEEP 
IF YOU SLEEP WHILE THEY KILL US? 

We yearn to live see our children grow 
but if we burn then part of them 
and part of you will turn to dust 
and death will haunt our home, our land 

GIVE US YOUR HAND! 

Let us stand in the sunlight 

when the wind is still 

and the din of war subsides into the sea 

and scales are righted 

and our worth declared. to be 

among the living 

to mould the fertile promise of unborn time— 

Time! 

Tomorrow they die 

Unless we make their cry a warning 

DEA TH IS IN O UR LAND! 

GIVE US YOUR HAND!

Oh if we could sing 

Of what would we sing, my loved one? 

Oh if we could sing 

Of what would we sing, my loved one? 

We’d sing of the light 
That comes out of dark night. 

We’d sing of the light, my loved one. 

Will our children laugh. 

Will we hear them laugh, my loved one? 
Will our children laugh, 

Will we hear them laugh, mv loved one? 

We know it will be 

For the people and we 

Will fight till we’re free, my loved one.

The Power To Hope 

“Mr. Bloch, I do not think any purpose would be 
served by further delay of the date of execution ex- 
cept to increase the mental anguish of the defend- 
ants, Ethel and Julius Rosenberg, and possibly to 
raise false hopes for them." 

Judge Kaufman, February 13, 1953 

% 

How '.shallow your heart? 

How deep your blinding hatel \ 

You ask. Judge Kaufman, 

"What purpose would it serve 
now to delay the date? 

What sets man from animal apart 
If not the power to hope, to feel. 

The thing we call the human heart? 

You sniff for their hurried death 
You snarl at their mounting hope 

The world’s good people 
build it high, 

'T he Pope renews 

his strangely buried cry. 

We seek to spare them even one fciint sigh 

One needless tear 

Their eyes have been wept dry. 

Two lives, two hearts we mean to spare. 


Armed with our dream 
We hurry forth to dare!

I'he President’s in the White House 
Behind the iron gate. 

The Clemency Vigil circles round 
Early and late. 

The Judge is in the Court House 
In haste to set the date. 

The Clemency Vigil circles round 
Early and late. 

He’s ready at the switches. 

The killer in robes of State, 

The Clemency Vigil circles round 
Early and late. 

The Rosenbergs in the Death House, 
Oh what will be their fate? 

The Clemency Vigil circles round 
Early and late. 

The People in their homelands 
Watch the White House gate. 

The Clemency Vigil circles round 
Early and late. 


Your voice 
subdued 

in penetrating challenge 

chills the blood 

and wakens the sleeping heart: 

I have thirty years . 
to fight for my husband 
but we have only days 
' to save the Rosenbergs 

\ 

You tower 
above the crude, 
the legal lies 

Your dear brown eyes 
envision the longed-for day 

the reunion of lovers 
of families 
of children at play 
with childhood ease 

Sing Sing to Alcatraz 
the span is long 

but the Rosenbergs . 
and Mort Sobell 
shall hear our song 
which you have given depth 
and soaring overtone 

and he

Nightmare 

I awoke in fright 
. out of the fevered night 


It luas done 

and they were dead! 


Staring blindly in the dark 
confusion pounding at my heart 


/ could have done much mote 
than I had done 


Trembling, I raised the blind 
only to find 

Dark buildings 
quiet as death 

Good people of the world now mourn 
shame to our land and scorn! 


Suddenly the dawn 

Brought sanity and speeding time! 




For Lovers 

When two who love 

are barred from their embrace 

When the face, the eyes 
wear the disguise of patience 

and the yearning is slated 
to find release in burning 

Can we who love 
be free?

Remember our wedding party, 

We danced for the family. 

Joyously all applauded. 

They said we’d live happily. 

Again in your arms, you hold me, 

The shadow of death torn away. 
Waltzing down the dim halls 
Past the high prison walls 
And into the light of day. 

Our children are waiting for us. 

Like flow’rs in the sun they stand. 
Their faith in us now rewarded, 
Clapping their little hands.

Who saved us from death, we embrace. 
Arm in arm we go forth. 

Holding our sons aloft. 

Building peace in the new life we face.
